Q#1 Diode and Its Applications GATE EE 2024 (Set 1) NAT +2 marks -0 marks

In the given circuit, the diodes are ideal. The current  through the diode  in milliamperes is ________ (rounded off to two decimal places).

Explanation:

 Both

By nodal,

 

 

 

  

Final state as both  and  are .

Q#2 Diode and Its Applications GATE EE 2023 (Set 1) MSQ +2 marks -0 marks

All the elements in the circuit shown in the following figure are ideal. Which of the following statements is/are true?

When switch  is , both  and  conducts and  is reverse biased.

When switch  is  conducts and both  and  are reverse biased.

When switch  is OFF,  is reverse biased and both  and  conduct.

When switch  is OFF,  conducts,  is reverse biased and  conducts.

Explanation:

When S is ON, diode D3 gets reverse biased

Assume D1 is ON & D2 is OFF

I1 = 4A > 0 ∴D1 is ON

VD2 = -20 V < 0 ∴D2 is OFF

∴ Option (b) is correct

When S is OFF, D3 is ON due to 2A current source Assume D1 is OFF & D2 is ON

Diagram, schematic

Description automatically generated

ID2 = 4A > 0 ∴ D2 is ON

VD1 = 20 – 40 = -20 < 0 ∴D1 is OFF

∴ Option (c) is correct
